About Kenneth Amicon
Founder & Managing Partner, KAES Partners
A Career Built on Relationships and Results
With over 25 years in executive search, Kenneth Amicon founded KAES Partners on a simple belief: the right leader can transform an organization. He has placed hundreds of executives across construction, healthcare, and private equity, earning a reputation for industry knowledge, rigorous assessment, and commitment to his clients.
Before founding KAES Partners, Ken held senior roles at nationally recognized search firms, building his expertise in leadership assessment and talent strategy. He leads every search himself, drawing on a network built over decades of trusted relationships.
Ken's philosophy centers on Leadership Capacity — the idea that growth is ultimately limited by the depth of a leadership team. By helping clients attract and develop exceptional leaders, he enables them to capture opportunities they'd otherwise leave on the table.
